• In a new Instagram video, Dr. Pimple Popper removes an overwhelming number of blackheads on a man’s back.

• Dr. Lee says the blackheads are "dried up," making them easier to pop out cleanly.

• A blackhead is a single pore filled with dead skin and oil, which forms a black “head” when exposed to air.

In a new Instagram video, Dr. Pimple Popper—aka, dermatologist and TLC host Dr. Sandra Lee, MD—removes an overwhelming number of blackheads on a man’s back. These little beauties have been hanging out for a while, causing them to be dried up and ready to pop.

In the clip, Dr. Lee uses a comedone extractor to press down firmly on the compacted pores, forcing out plugs of black, tan, and white gunk. Dr. Lee tells the patient that the blackheads are “dried up,” which actually makes them easier to extract cleanly. The famed derm tackles dozens of these speckled back pops in one sitting. It’s like gazing at a starry night sky, only with blackheads. And they say romance is dead.

“Oh my god, so many good ones,” one fan commented. “I wanna get them!”

A blackhead is a single pore filled with dead skin and oil, which forms a black “head” when exposed to air. The light portion of a blackhead that you see in this video is actually the same material as the black cap, only this material hasn’t been oxidized to create a black coloring.

Marvel at these blackhead “stars” in the video below:
