Stem cells and acne scars?

A few days ago I started looking for information related with how can stem cells could help on healing acne scars. I want you to know which 2 articles led me to make the conlcusions from which I’m going to ask later on. I found two brief articles. One that directly mentioned what I was looking for, but didn’t explicitly say how was the proceedure done. You can find the article on:

http://www.acne.org/messageboard/Stem-Cells-Acne-Scar-Rep-t222851.html .

The second one I found it interesting cause it talked about the difference between a scarring process and the regenerative one, and how the second one was a more effective “healing process” that diminished the possibilities of producing scars or damaged tissues.

http://www.nature.com/stemcells/2008/0806/080612/full/stemcells.2008.95.html

So here starts what I want to know. Imagine you’ve got 2 persons willing to get rid of their acne scars (one of which is me). Both of them decide to go through a rough carbon dioxid Laser treatment, which now a days is the technique that almost guarantees the better results. But only one of them decides to complement its laser treatment with a stem cell therapy, that is, with it’s own adult stem cells produced from it’s own fat tissue. How would the healing process develope on both patients? Post-operation recovery time? What could both patients expect? Would the healing process of the one having stem cells injected all over his face, be a regenertive (free of scars) process or a scarring one? Would there be a difference on having the stem cells injected just before or just after the laser?

Thank you very much for your answers. Hope that what I’m asking has got sense.

Cordially, w22
