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

phd1234
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.
