Dr. Pimple Popper: Before the Pop is a riveting reality TV show on TLC that captures the incredible moments leading up to the iconic pimple pop that fans of the show adore. The show features the talented and expert dermatologist Dr. Sandra Lee and her husband, Dr. Jeffrey Rebish, as they treat patients with skin conditions ranging from simple whiteheads to more severe cysts.

The show is a spinoff of the popular Dr. Pimple Popper series and follows the same format, but with a unique twist. Instead of jumping straight into the explosive pimple popping action, Dr. Lee and Dr. Rebish spend time getting to know their patients and their skin conditions. They examine and diagnose the skin issues and create personalized treatment plans for each individual case.

The show's focus on patient care and building rapport with the characters is a refreshing change from other medical shows that usually jump straight into the action. Dr. Lee and Dr. Rebish are both caring and empathetic, and they take the time to listen to each patient's concerns and anxieties, making the show more than just a spectacle of pimple popping.

The show features patients from all walks of life, from young adults struggling with acne to older patients with more serious skin conditions. The range of personalities and conditions ensures that the show never feels repetitive or redundant.

One of the standout qualities of the show is its raw honesty. The cameras capture real-life moments of patients in pain and discomfort, but the doctors’ expertise and empathy help them get through it. The show also delivers informative content through discussions about different skin conditions and their causes, which is especially helpful for viewers who might suffer from similar issues.

Dr. Lee and Dr. Rebish's relationship is another highlight of the show. Their camaraderie and shared passion for dermatology make them a powerful team, and their dynamic personalities make them entertaining to watch. Dr. Lee's bubbly personality and wit contrast perfectly with Dr. Rebish's more serious demeanor, and together, they make a delightful duo.

The production values of the show are top-notch, with high-quality, close-up shots of each pimple pop and excellent editing that builds suspense and excitement leading up to each moment. The show's soundtrack is also superb, with upbeat, catchy tunes that complement the action and enhance the viewing experience.

One of the best things about Dr. Pimple Popper: Before the Pop is its ability to educate and entertain without turning off viewers who would be squeamish about pimple popping. The show strikes the perfect balance, catering to the fascination people have with pimple popping while also delivering a healthy dose of humor, empathy, and education.

In conclusion, Dr. Pimple Popper: Before the Pop is an excellent show that offers a unique take on the pimple popping reality TV phenomenon. Dr. Sandra Lee and Dr. Jeffrey Rebish are both brilliant doctors who care deeply about their patients, and their expertise, combined with the show's high production values, make for a riveting and educational viewing experience.
