It's not just the over-the-top pops Dr. Lee posts on the reg that keep her fan base loyal. She's basically Oprah with a comedone extractor (and a medical degree). Her soothing demeanor and empathetic personality make seeing the doctor feel like a treat instead of a chore. She even started a GoFundMe for her patient "Pops," who lost his wife.

When a blackhead reaches planetary proportions, it's technically called a dilated pore of Winer. It's basically just a huge blackhead that keeps collecting gunk in a little hole until your family member (in this woman's case, her daughter) forces you to go see Dr. Pimple Popper. Once removed, the newly vacated pore is so stretched out that it's likely to fill back up. "This is like your own little coin purse," says Lee in the video, with typical Dr. Pimple Popper optimism.

Based on the melodic, suspenseful music that begins to crescendo during the pore cleaning process, this pore strip removal sounds more like an intense montage of math problem-solving during "A Beautiful Mind." There is something beautiful about the methodic cleansing of pores, and zit poppers will be delighted to see them be cleansed a total of four times.
