Meet Dr. Sandra Lee:
America’s Beloved “Dr. Pimple Popper”

Known to millions as Sandra Lee, or simply Dr. Pimple Popper, she has transformed something as ordinary as skincare into a global phenomenon. With her unparalleled blend of medical expertise, gentle bedside manner, and undeniable charisma, Dr. Lee has redefined how people view dermatology. What once lived behind closed clinic doors is now inspiring—and educating—millions around the world. Through her expert hands, patients not only receive transformative treatments for skin conditions but also experience renewed confidence and relief from ailments that may have deeply impacted their lives. Her work is more than extractions and procedures; it’s about changing lives, one patient at a time.

World-Renowned Dermatology Care in Upland, California

As the founder of Skin Physicians & Surgeons in Upland, California, and star of the hit television series Dr. Pimple Popper, Dr. Lee has built a trusted platform that merges medical excellence with accessibility and compassion. Her ability to explain complex conditions with warmth and clarity has made her a beloved figure far beyond the exam room. Whether treating cysts, lipomas, or acne, she approaches each case with precision and empathy. Her philosophy is simple but powerful: everyone deserves healthy, beautiful skin and the confidence that comes with it. What began as a few viral videos has evolved into a movement that breaks stigma, celebrates transformation, and reminds us that skincare is deeply personal—and profoundly human.

From Viral Videos to TV Stardom: Dr. Lee’s Journey

In 2014, dermatologist Dr. Sandra Lee noticed an unusual increase in views and popularity of her “popping” videos, YouTube videos that visually demonstrate her treating skin concerns through popping them. Dr. Lee hoped that these videos would shine a light on the field of dermatology and allow her viewers a backstage pass to see what she does on a daily basis. The original “popping” videos, as well as the thousands that have followed, are designed to give patients from all walks of life a better understanding of their health and well-being as well as the tools to treat and take care of their skin. After her videos went viral and her Instagram exploded, Dr. Sandra Lee took on the name of Dr. Pimple Popper and has been seen everywhere from YouTube to The Doctors to Studio11LA. Dr. Lee can now be seen on her new venture, TLC’s new reality TV show, Dr. Pimple Popper, where viewers can get an up-close window into her work aiding patients who suffer from significant skin-related insecurities.

SLMD

Dr. Pimple Popper's SMLD Skincare Line

After years of consideration, Dr. Sandra Lee created and now offers her very own skincare line that treats and prevents the formation of acne. SMLD Skincare provides a range of anti-acne products that are safe, reliable, and effective. Acne is a constant source of frustration, one that Dr. Pimple Popper regularly sees, and not every patient has the option to visit a dermatologist. SMLD allows patients to fight acne at home to achieve beautiful, blemish-free skin.

Treating Skin Worldwide

Through social media, Dr. Pimple Popper has been able to reach patients from all corners of the world, and these patients travel hundreds and thousands of miles to see her and experience her expertise in treating their skin insecurities. While many of the conditions that Dr. Pimple Popper treats are not life-threatening, they affect the patient’s quality of life and the way they perceive themselves and their beauty. Through popping, Dr. Sandra Lee has reached multiple generations and has given them the tools to love and understand their skin.
