Dr. Pimple Popper knows sometimes you just need a quick little pop to get you through your day-and she always delivers.
In her newest Instagram video, dermatologist Sandra Lee, MD shares a quick-hit compilation of a few "good ol' fashioned #pops," according to the caption. You can hear the doctor talking in the short clips, but her pimple pops are the main focus. She also used the hashtag "#comedones" to describe the pimples she was tackling.

Comedones are just your average, run-of-the-mill blackheads and whiteheads. According to the U.S. National Library of Medicine , "comedones are small, flesh-colored, white, or dark bumps that give skin a rough texture." They're found at the opening of pores and often have a solid core in the middle of a small bump. Blackheads are open comedones, while whiteheads are closed comedones. The more you know, right?
The comedones compilation goes through three different (super satisfying) pimple pops. Each one is a little bloody, tbh. That's because sometimes Dr. Pimple Popper needs to slice the skin a bit to help the pimple come out.
"I make that nick and they come out like little nuggets," she said in one of the clips. Dr. Pimple Popper also uses a comedone extractor-a metal tool with rounded edges to ease the pimples out without damaging the surrounding skin-in all of the clips
The last clip also appears to be pretty darn satisfying for Dr. Pimple Popper herself. "Yeah! Good," she said. I mean, same.
Props to Dr. Pimple Popper once again for fighting the good fight and making sure her patients have great skin (and helping us indulge in our moderately gross taste in Instagram videos).
