Microdermabrasion has become very popular recently as more home microdermabrasion kits become available. The home kits are less expensive than having the treatment done by a professional such as a cosmetic dermatologist or at a spa. The treatment itself, by a professional takes about thirty minutes. While a home microdermabrasion treatment can take anywhere from two to ten minutes depending on the brand of kit you buy. The cost of having treatments with a professional is somewhat prohibitive to the average person, while the home kit is usually anywhere from $23 to $100 plus dollars. There is also something to be said for the convenience of the home microdermabrasion kit. You can use the kit at whatever time is convenient for you.

The home microdermabrasion kit that seems to be the most popular and considered the one that does the best job is Susan Lucci's Youthful Essence. Youthful Essence is a microdermabrasion kit that exfoliates dull and dry surface skin cells and reveals a fresh and radiant skin. Imperfections begin to disappear with the first treatment with Youthful Essence. The skin is rejuvenated and renewed with the use of Youthful Essence at a cost that is much less than a professional microdermabrasion done by a professional.

Another home microdermabrasion system that is very popular today and considered equal in its ability to perform as well as Youthful Essence is Dermanew. Dermanew is the newest system on the market and in spite of its very high price ($210) it is very popular and has a following. The main reason behind its popularity is that it is gives results that are as close to a professional treatment as a home microdermabrasion kit can give. Dermanew offers a sensitive skin formula which resurfaces the skin without causing breakouts or irritating the skin. Dermanew is the only home microdermabrasion system that has a formula for acne prone skin.

Following the Dermanew system is the Neutrogena Advanced Solutions At Home Microdermabrasion kit. Neutrogena claims that the skin can be rejuvenated and renewed in just four weeks with the use of their system. The progress is as follows: The system will immediately enhance the surface of the skin leaving it fresh, smooth and soft. At the fist week the skin is visibly brighter and has a glossy youthful radiance. By the fourth week the fine lines, wrinkles and sun damage all but disappears.

Another microdermabrasion kit that is considered among the best is the Oil of Olay Regenerist. It has a double peeling effect which is caused by bicarbonate crystals and lactic acid. Although it is not as strongly abrasive as the others it is considered to be a good facial. It does make the skin smoother and brighter. But whether it has the same effect as a professional treatment is not known.

These are the microdermabrasion systems that are considered among the best. However, the best brands are always those that work for the individual user.
