Dr. Pimple Popper is back on your screens—and yes, expect plenty of pops! On April 10, 2025, an exclusive VIP screening of Episode One, Season One of Dr. Pimple Popper: Breaking Out took place at the legendary TCL Chinese Theatre in Hollywood. This marked her anticipated return with a bold new series premiering only on Lifetime.
Produced by Morgan Publicity, the premiere event welcomed guests to experience the powerful new chapter of Dr. Sandra Lee’s journey, with a new season and new network. Attendees were among the very first to preview what’s in store, alongside Dr. Lee herself.
The evening featured skincare from SLMD Skincare by Dr. Pimple Popper and bites from Hollywood favorite Yamashiro. Following the screening, a live Q&A gave guests an inside look into the new season, with Dr. Sandra Lee and Showrunner/Executive Producer Scott Cooper – moderated by Gurus Magazine Founder and CEO, Derek Warburton.

Dr. Sandra Lee, also known as Dr. Pimple Popper, is the most famous dermatological surgeon in the world and an internationally beloved personality. She has dedicated her life to sharing her incredible skills with her huge audience, as she helps hundreds of suffering patients who are unable or unwilling to find treatment for their painful, oozing cysts, fatty tumors, and infinitely complex, life-affecting dermatological issues. Now, Dr. Lee is ready to take her practice to the next level. The doctor has made modern additions to her main office, which include an entire new wing of patient rooms and many new staff and doctors. For the first time, Dr. Lee will also be providing intimate self-shot footage of her life outside the office.
