Could it be that association with products such as "a radio-frequency hair removal system, and the IGIA Cellulift Massage system..." do not seem to offer a lot o promise? That info gave me a pause....

Production costs, LazerSmile: The last I heard, BLTI planned to contract out manufacture of the toothbrush. In volume production, they should be able to get those out the door at $25 each (my guess) unless the laser unit is highly expensive. The previous wholesale price was $75 each, with retail at $100 each. So there is a lot of room for gross profits in the LazerSmile deal. I tried to get information from BLTI, but heard back nothing, so I'm estimating off their previous announcements. The brush was always seen as a very high margin product that would provide cash while Millenium was developed. I see no reason why it shouldn't be even more high margin now that they have volume production and a veteran VP of manufacturing.
