2024 ADS Summer Symposium

Dr. Sandra Lee

Dermatology in this Social Media World

Saturday, June 22, 12:05pm - 1:00pm


A board-certified dermatologist based in Southern California, Dr. Sandra Lee is known by most people as Dr. Pimple Popper.

In 2015, Dr. Lee started an Instagram account to give people a window into her world as a dermatologist. Realizing that her field of medicine is very visual, she felt that it would be interesting to show people what she sees on a daily basis — during consults, surgeries and in-office procedures. And though she had a hunch that people would find it interesting, she soon discovered there was an entire community of people who watched “popping” videos and shared them with each other across the internet. ince then, Dr. Lee has posted thousands of videos that you can find on this website and across many other social media channels, including YouTube, Facebook, Instagram and Snapchat.

But the content she and her team post isn’t solely graphic dissections of lipomas and cysts. Dr. Lee’s aim is still the same as it was back in 2015 — to provide a window into her unique dermatology world. From procedures such as MOHS surgery and Botox to keloid removals, ear surgeries, and blackhead extractions, Dr. Lee does it all.

Today, she is the star of her own hit TLC series, Dr. Pimple Popper, and the founder of a solutions driven skincare line, SLMD Skincare.
