Restoration
Foreskin restoration is the process of expanding and regenerating the skin on the penis to recreate a foreskin-like covering, typically after circumcision. This can be done for various reasons—physical comfort, increased sensitivity, sexual pleasure, aesthetic preference, or a sense of bodily integrity.
There are two main methods:
Non-surgical (most common):
-
Uses tissue expansion—gentle, consistent tension is applied over time using tape, weights, or specially designed devices.
-
Over months or years, this stimulates the skin to grow and eventually form a covering over the glans (head of the penis).
-
While this does not regenerate specialized structures (like the frenulum or ridged band), it can improve sensitivity and appearance for many.
Surgical:
-
Less common and more complex.
-
Involves skin grafts or plastic surgery techniques.
-
Carries higher risk and cost.
Restoration does not fully recreate the original foreskin's anatomy, but many men report significant psychological and physical benefits.
When skin is stretched beyond its physiological limit, mechanotransduction pathways are activated. This leads to cell growth as well as to the formation of new cells (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tissue_expansion). By applying tension to the remaining skin over a period of time new skin cells are grown and the skin length increases. Circumcision surgery sadly removes the frenar band, the ridged band and all or part of the frenulum. Although foreskin restoration can not replace these missing structures, foreskin restoration can create slack skin that will cover and protect the glans from becoming keratinized just like the original foreskin.
Foreskin restoration has been carried out by men worldwide for well over a decade and its popularity continues to grow.
There has been some discussion on restoration forums that in small number of cases foreskin restoration has resulted in Peyronie's Disease. This link although not proven is certainly possible as Peyronie's disease can be caused by micro-trauma in the tunica albugina and could result from extreme levels of tension applied to the penis. We have no experience of this condition but we suggest that any foreskin restoration is applied at a steady pace over a gradual period of time. If you have any concerns or are in any doubt please seek professional medical advice.
Restoration Benefits
A Natural Looking Penis
To many circumcised individuals their penis feels incomplete and unnatural. A circumcised penis consists of an exposed glans and often an unsightly scar a result of the operation procedure. The 'quality' of this scar will depend very much on the surgeon's level of care when performing the operation. Using our devices will help bring about a natural looking penis with covered glans and the covering of any unsightly scar to the penile shaft. individuals on a whole also gain significant positive psychological effects.
Increase in Sexual Intensity
Many individuals who have restored their foreskin report that sex is much better for them. The glans and inner foreskin are mucous membranes which are exposed permanently when an individuals is circumcised. As the glans and inner foreskin are sensitive and easily stimulated the body develops a callous layer to insulate the nerves resulting in decreased sensitivity. Individuals who restore their foreskin report an increase in sensitivity and as a result an increase in the intensity of the orgasms they experience.
Better Sex
A report titled The Effects of Male Circumcision on Female Arousal and Orgasm produced back in 2003 found circumcision may exacerbate female vaginal dryness during intercourse. The report also stated that women who had experienced sex with circumcised and intact men preferred intact men at a ratio of 8.6 to 1. 85.5% of the women also reported that they were most likely to experience an orgasm with a genetically intact man. Men who restore their foreskin also report their partner experiences less discomfort after sexual intercourse and artificial lubrication is no longer necessary.
