Does Finasteride help to regrow hair? Or does it only help to prevent you from losing the hair you currently have?

Asked By:phd1234 in Atlanta, GA

I'm interested in trying finasteride to help with my thinning hair on the top of my head. I am not clear on if it will help to regrow the hair that I've lost or thicken the hair I have or if it will only just prevent me losing additional hair in the balding areas.
