Behind the Scenes: But what fans may not know, is that her husband, Dr. Jeffery Rebish, is also a dermatologist working in the same office as his wife.

Madness: Jeffrey revealed that he did not know that his wife was doing videos before his YouTube videos began to gain an important audience.

It's interesting to note that Sandra did not burst Jeffrey's mouthpiece – a fact that could shock the wives and girlfriends who like to show off the faults of their husbands and boyfriends.

Success: The Dr. Pimple Popper brand has been developed to include a TLC TV show, board games and merchandise.

Jeffrey said that it was partly because it was just a job for Sandra and that she preferred to keep life away from their home.

"Sandra will tell you that she's not popaholic," he says. "I mean, she's never done anything on my skin, which could be a little disappointing for her fans – because a husband-wife operation would definitely be a good television."

They have certainly been together long enough to give him a chance to meet before being doctors.

"We were both at the Philadelphia Medical School to become dermatologists," Jeffrey revealed. "Sandra came into the room on the day of orientation and I immediately knew she was that one.

The couple attended school before completing their studies and moving to California – where Sandra grew up – to resume her father's dermatology department.

Most fans may not realize it, but Jeffrey has been working in the office with Sandra since the start of filming of her YouTube and TLC shows.

The couple also has two sons together.

"On a daily basis, we are both dermatologists, but our roles in the office are very different," he told the publication.

Happy: Jeffrey explained how he is managing the business of the couple's dermatology practice more closely, while she focuses on "theatrical" surgeries.

A wonderful life: the couple has two sons together, and Jeffrey said that they had to divide the workload differently with the departure of Dr. Pimple Popper.

"I'm definitely not a" push button ". I am the businessman, more behind the scenes. I occupy myself on the administrative side of the practice, while seeing my own patients. & # 39;

He went on to explain how Sandra generally underwent cosmetic surgeries during her practice – from Botox to eye lift – while managing the more obscene skin pain filmed.

"This is not what I like to do, but these more theatrical surgeries have always been his specialty," Jeffrey said.

Sandra started on YouTube under the pseudonym Dr. Pimple Popper. But the dermatologist actually waited a few years to inform her husband of the videos, until she got a wider audience.

"Once YouTube paid for it and the videos brought in money, it made me aware of it," he said. "I did not know what to think about it, because at that time, Dr. Pimple Popper was present, but still modest – probably about 5,000 subscribers, or so.

& # 39; Next, the craziest thing happened: a media found his page and republished one of his videos. After the news, it was a wildfire.

The launch of the YouTube channel and TLC has turned Dr. Pimple Popper into a brand. The distribution of couples' work has therefore changed.

"I take notes where she could have been more present without the show," he said. "Sometimes it's caring for boys or managing his contracts.

"In the end, I will always be involved in the way Sandra needs me because we are a team."
