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.
The lost sensory tissue can not be restored - nerves that have been removed are permanently lost. There is, however, a significant regeneration of the remaining tissue. As soon as the remaining part of the inner [[foreskin]] and the any remaining frenulum are facing towards the [[Glans penis|glans]] again, the tissue starts to regenerate and reverts from its condition resembling external skin, back to its original [[mucosa]]-like condition. The same can be observed with the surface of the [[Glans penis|glans]]. If it is once again covered on a regular basis - and be it only by an artificial cover or the restoration device - the layer of callus starts to vanish and the former leathery skin becomes soft and smooth again. The regeneration results in a distinct increase in sensitivity, which, even though it cannot equal that of an intact man, is still noticeably greater than that of an unrestored [[penis]]. These effects can be observed just a few weeks after starting to restore.
Some of the current, common devices and techniques will be listed below. Which one is preferable in any given case depends on the circumcision style, namely the amount of skin left, and the anatomy of the [[penis]] itself.
