Hello,
Welcome to healthcare magic,
From the description what you are having is male pattern baldness ( Androgenetic alopecia). This condition is in your genes, therefore even though there are effective treatments, the treatment will be lifelong. There are two US-FDA approved treatments for male pattern baldness and they are Minoxidil 5 % solution 1 ml twice daily local application over scalp and Finasteride 1 mg tablet to consume once daily. These are prescription medicines and you need to consult a dermatologist for the same. No expensive procedures are required. Please start the treatment at the earliest. Hope this helped,
Take care.
