Dr. Sandra Lee, better known by her online moniker Dr. Pimple Popper, has shared some of the most fascinating videos of blackhead extractions on her Instagram. A dermatologist based in California with a hit reality series on TLC, Dr. Lee is known for her pimple popping posts. She established a social media following on YouTube and Instagram back in 2015 when she started posting videos featuring the types of things she deals with daily as a dermatologist.
Initially, she just “had a hunch” that people would find her field interesting, and she was right. Dr. Pimple Popper videos were a viral sensation, amassing her 4.5 million followers on Instagram and 7.45 million subscribers on YouTube. Her posts included typical dermatological procedures, and her viewers, titled “popaholics,” couldn’t get enough. They were engrossed (pun intended) by her “popping” videos, especially blackhead extractions.
TLC took notice and offered Dr. Lee her very own reality series, Dr. Pimple Popper, which premiered in 2018. The show has seven seasons, but fans still want more. Some of her reels on Instagram often reach 200 thousand views within a day of posting. The most popular videos are almost always of blackheads. Below are some of the most fascinating blackhead extractions available on her Instagram.

In between the popping videos are posts explaining how pores become clogged, the difference between whiteheads and blackheads, and even the stages of a pimple! After watching these videos, fans cannot wait for the next season of Dr. Pimple Popper.
