Heather Merlo APRN, FNP-C, a distinguished and board-certified family nurse practitioner, has devoted over a decade and a half to the demanding realms of intensive care and emergency medicine at Tampa General Hospital, a prestigious level 1 trauma center in Tampa, Florida. Her remarkable journey took a transformative turn in 2021, when, even while facing the unprecedented challenges of the pandemic and at the remarkable stage of seven months into her pregnancy, Merlo embarked on a remarkable shift from the corporate world to the realm of women entrepreneurship.
Fueled by a profound desire to harmonize the roles of motherhood and female entrepreneurship, bolstering women's confidence and advocating for regenerative medicine, particularly in the pandemic's wake, the visionary entity known as Sei Tu Bella Aesthetics came into existence. With unwavering determination and a singular focus, Merlo brought her dreams to fruition, venturing into the captivating realm of aesthetic medicine, where she found her passion and a profound commitment to empowering women through a dedicated emphasis on women's wellness services.
Before stepping into her role as an independent practitioner, Merlo pursued specialized training in medical aesthetics at AMET, alongside luminaries in the field such as Merz Pharmaceuticals, Galderma, Allergan, Crown Aesthetics, Aesthetic Management Partners, Revive, SaltMed, and Inmode. Her vast expertise spans a spectrum of advanced specialties, including women’s wellness, vaginal rejuvenation, laser services, RF microneedling with Morpheus 8 platforms, Mint PDO threads for non-surgical facelifts, clinical expert level for ZO Skin Health medical grade skincare, EXO|E stem cells and Sculptra regenerative medicine, intimacy wellness, hair restoration, and bio stimulatory procedures with Radiesse for anti-aging and rejuvenation.
Notably, Merlo's international reach extends as she assumes the role of a trainer for Inmode, the esteemed manufacturer of the world-renowned RF micro-needling treatment, Morpheus. With support from influential figures such as Eva Longoria and Kim Kardashian, who attributes her svelte physique to the transformative Morpheus treatment, it has unquestionably become the gold standard and a highly sought-after procedure within the industry. Merlo's dedication takes her across the United States, where she imparts her knowledge to MedSpa practice owners, fostering a culture of education, safety, and comfort for all clients.
In a monumental milestone, Sei Tu Bella Aesthetics stands as Florida's inaugural Nurse Practitioner-owned MedSpa to feature the groundbreaking Empower RF platform by Inmode, earning its status as Lutz's premier women's wellness institute. Merlo's pursuit of excellence has led her to train under the guidance of Dr. Henry Ramirez, MD, OB/GYN, a pioneering inventor and opinion leader in the Empower RF Platform, and collaborate with distinguished figures like Dr. Tracy Blusewicz, MD, FACOG OB/GYN, and internationally acclaimed Urogynecologist and Pelvic Floor Surgeon Dr. Mickey Karram, MD.

She regularly attends international training seminars and advanced courses to stay at the forefront of advanced injection techniques, safety standards, and industry trends. Merlo's unwavering dedication to marrying artistry with medical aesthetics underscores her unwavering commitment to empowering her clients through education.
With a rich Italian heritage, Ms. Merlo aspired to christen her enterprise with a name that exuded sophistication that celebrated her Italian roots. During her quest, she unearthed the Italian phrase "Sei Tu Bella," which, translated precisely, conveys the question "Are you beautiful?" This discovery struck a resonant chord. At Sei Tu Bella, should you ever find yourself questioning your own beauty, rest assured it is our solemn duty to ensure you feel nothing less than truly exquisite.
In addition to her professional pursuits, Merlo holds a deep appreciation for her leisure moments, which she dedicates to forging lasting memories with her family. Alongside her devoted husband and five children, she passionately supports her two promising sons in their pursuit of professional athleticism through travel baseball. Simultaneously, she cherishes the joy of nurturing her three young daughters and embarks on ventures that take her across the open seas and foreign horizons. Her heart finds a special place in the exploration of her husband's homeland, Mendoza, Argentina, where she immerses herself in the richness of familial connections while savoring the exquisite pleasures of world-renowned award-winning wines and gourmet cuisine.

If you are looking to get your life back post-partum, Heather is your girl. I went to Heather over a year post partum experiencing pain with exercise. After numerous trips to the OB and told pain after three kids was normal, heather offered to help with V-Tone treatments. Very skeptical, considering I had no other pelvic floor issues I agreed to give it a try. After three out of six treatments I was finally running pain free!
After three painless session of V-tone I ran my first marathon which would have never been possible without Heathers treatments.
The entire treatment takes 30 minutes, completely painless, and you have heather at your side making you feel so comfortable in a situation which can be very Awkard for many. I am forever grateful for heather offering this service, and will return after my next kid.
Heather listened when other medical OB providers shrugged me off.

I had severe cystic acne and the treatments from dermatologists were not working. I found Heather as an alternative to the aggressive medication the dermatologist wanted to start. She made me a game plan and 3 months into the treatments, my skin is better than it has been in years. I'm off antibiotics and other medications as well. It has been an emotional journey and Heather has been there every step of the way. She checks up on me and I know that she gives everything she has for her clients. I don't know what I would have done without her. She has given me so much of my confidence back-which is priceless.
I am a mother of 3 and suffer from incontinence. I went through a divorce and lost all aspect of self esteem and confidence in myself and my body; I found myself wearing black clothing to hide the impact of child birth and the daily symptoms were a constant reminder that I had lost control. Finding Heather Merlo and Sei Tu Bella Aesthetics have made a blueprint on my life. I completed the Morpheus V series and V Tone and no longer have the same insecurities. I am now more confident in my body more than I had ever been and I am grateful everyday for the impact Sei Tu Bella Aesthetics had made in my life. Thank you for all that you have done for me and all the women’s lives that you have touched. We appreciate you.
