In a new Instagram video, Dr. Pimple Popper aka dermatologist and TLC host Dr. Sandra Lee, MD plucks sebaceous filaments out of a patients nose. The tiny skin concerns look similar to the hairs on a kiwi, practically microscopic in appearance.
In the clip, Dr. Lee uses a surgical tweezers to pluck out the sebaceous filaments, many of which are already popping out from the patients pores. For those still embedded, the famed dermatologist pushes down on the skin slightly to force out the filaments. At the end of the clip, Dr. Lee shows the sebaceous filaments under a microscope, giving fans a close-up look at the multi-strand skin concerns.
Many fans commented that the filaments look like tiny strands of hair. They may just remind you of the hair on a kiwi.
Sebaceous filaments occur in the lining of your pores, and control the flow of sebumor oilin your skin. These filaments only become noticeable when your pores fill with oil and dead skin. For many people sebaceous filaments are noticeable on the nose, with many mistaking them for blackheads. In fact, what gets pulled out when using a pore strip is most often sebaceous filaments, not blackheads. Sebaceous filaments are most often treated with exfoliating cleanser or salicylic acid.
