[[Foreskin restoration]] is achieved by the principle of [[tissue expansion]], which consists on applying tension to areas of tissue in order to stimulate cellular [[mitosis]]. Sustained tension over periods of time, repeated daily for a long period of time, results in permanent enlargement of the existing tissue.
Foreskin restoration uses different methods to induce tension on the existing [[penile skin ]] and [[preputial mucosa| mucosa]], in order to enlarge those areas, to obtain tissue that looks like and in some ways behaves just like a real [[foreskin]].
Foreskin restoration cannot restore those areas that were completely removed by circumcision, such as the [[ridged band]] or the [[frenulum]] (in the cases where it was removed completely).
Foreskin restoration alleviates tight erections [[erection]]s and restores the mobility of the [[skin]].
== How to start ==
== Regimen ==
Each method and each device places different kind of stress on the [[penile skin|penile tissue]]. A common principle is to avoid pain. The stronger the tension, the less time it should be applied.

=== RCI - real coverage index ===
The real coverage index was created as a reaction to frustration trying to measure the progress of restorers using the CI scale. Restorers typically vary the appearance of their penis depending on several factors, such as temperature, posture, underwear, etc. The real coverage index does not use a set of pictures for its scale, but it uses verbal descriptions of the way the foreskin behaves. Restorers can consider how their [[skin ]] behaves most of the time, to find out what their real coverage index is.

===Newest coverage index===
The latest and most complete example is the [https://foreskinrestoration.men/foreskin-restoration-coverage-index/ ADI Coverage Index] (2020). The index depicts a range of penises in both the flaccid and erect state from 0 to 10, with 0 being the tightest [[circumcision]] and 10 the longest [[foreskin]]. Men undergoing foreskin restoration can chart their progress using the coverage index (CI).
=== FEC - forced erect coverage ===
Forced erect coverage is a measurement obtained by producing an [[erection]], forcing as much [[skin ]] as possible over the glans, and comparing that number to the length of the glans. The result is a percentage, which can be negative (no coverage at all), or it can be a number smaller than 100% (some coverage), or greater than 100% (full coverage and some overhang).

=== Table ===
Until full flaccid coverage is achieved, there won't be enough [[skin ]] to cover the complete flaccid penis. Attempting to pull the [[skin ]] over the glans to cover the penis completely will result in pushing the internal part of the penis (corpus cavernosum, corpus spongiosum) towards the inside of the body, making the penis look shorter.
Gary M. Griffin in [[Decircumcision: foreskin restoration, methods and circumcision practices]] described a table which uses this as a way of tracking progress. As more [[skin ]] is grown, the covered penis will look larger, until it achieves the full flaccid length.
The restorer then should measure his full extended flaccid penis without any coverage, and use that measure as a baseline. Then, periodically pull the [[skin ]] over the glans to cover the full penis and measure the length. When this measurement coincides with the baseline measurement, full flaccid coverage has been achieved.
