The Aeglé Fund

The Aeglé Fund is our non-profit where we treat people with scars that can’t otherwise afford it. We have so many amazing treatments for scars and insurance does not always cover them so this fund is something we are very passionate about, especially for people that have experienced great trauma like a car accident or natural disaster.
