I am Raquel Fernández, a designer, micropigmentation technician, and creator of Duna prostheses.
My journey took an unexpected turn two years ago, when I was diagnosed with breast cancer. This event marked a turning point in my life but, far from stopping me, it became the driving force behind a new creative direction.
"My career is not only a creative journey, but also a story of overcoming breast cancer."
DESIGNER AND MICROPIGMENTATION TECHNICIAN
After three decades immersed in the fashion industry, four years ago I decided to broaden my creative horizons into micropigmentation, combining artistic precision with my fascination for design and aesthetics.
In the field of oncology aesthetics, I did not find any option that fit my situation and provided an authentic appearance of nipple volume. From that moment on, I made a deep commitment to myself to find the perfect solution for my case, which led to the creation of medical-grade silicone prostheses that replicate the areola/nipple complex with precision and absolute realism, including projection.
“My work has become a tangible expression of resilience and overcoming, where art meets science to address a loss that directly impacts women’s lives.”
PROSTHESES THAT IMPROVE SELF-ESTEEM
Beyond aesthetics, I experienced first-hand the therapeutic and emotional benefits of incorporating DUNA prostheses into my life—especially meaningful for women who, like me, have been through this experience and feel our body image is incomplete.
I decided to share this solution with all women who have the same longing, so they could regain a body image closer to what they had before the illness, as well as emotions lost during the process, such as our own sensuality. Thank you for giving me the privilege of accompanying you through your journey and helping to make the path easier.
I am grateful to be part of this journey. In this shared space, we build a bridge between creativity and inner strength, celebrating life and the ability to be reborn in the face of the challenges that come our way.
DUNA are external platinum medical-grade silicone prostheses and an innovative, hyper-realistic aesthetic solution to address the loss of the areola-nipple complex after breast cancer.
