→Foreskin restoration: methods and equipment: Revise text.
Ever since the days of classical antiquity, methods of restoring the [[foreskin]] after circumcision, known as [[epispasm]], have been known.
They are based on the ability of the human skin to adapt to the needs of the body. In daily life it can be easily observed on the abdominal skin, which adapts to the abdomen's circumference according to gain or loss of weight. If skin is subjected to tension over a period of time, the skin cells are stimulated to growincrease in number. This also holds true for the shaft skin of the [[penis]].
Depending on the circumcision style and individual cutaneous factors, it can take months or even years for the skin to cover the [[Glans penis|glans]] fully. There are single reports of growth of up to 5mm a month with intensive restoring, but reliable studies on this are not available.
