Hair fall. Thinning strands. A scalp that feels out of balance. If you’ve ticked off any of these boxes (like I have), you’re probably on a constant hunt for a treatment that actually works.

Hairstuff is one of Shiseido Professional’s salon partners.
That’s what led me to Hairstuff Salon to try the much-talked-about Sublimic Salon Solutions Advanced Care – Adenovital treatment by Shiseido Professional. And let me say this: it’s not just a hair treatment. It’s a full-on, multi-sensory experience.
First Impressions
Walking into Hairstuff Salon, I was immediately enveloped in a calming atmosphere that set the tone for what felt more like a spa ritual than a typical salon visit. True to SUBLIMIC’s philosophy of caring for the heart, mind, and senses, everything – from the warm greeting to the soothing ambience – was designed to comfort and uplift.
The Adenovital Treatment Process

The treatment begins with a thorough consultation so my stylist knows exactly how to give my scalp the best care.
The treatment begins with a thorough consultation, where my stylist assessed my scalp and hair condition. It turns out, my concerns – thinning hair and occasional hair fall – made me the perfect candidate for the Adenovital series.
Here’s what the full regimen involved:
1. Hair & Scalp Cleansing

The shampoo is whipped into a dense foam before it was used for the hair wash.
Using the Adenovital Shampoo for Thinning Hair, my scalp was gently purified of buildup and excess oil. The process includes whipping the shampoo into a dense foam, which can help penetrate better into the scalp for a deeper cleansing experience.
Unlike some clarifying shampoos that leave your hair dry, this one left my scalp refreshed and my hair feeling weightless. It was a spa-worthy experience that I could have never achieved at home.
2. Forming a Base for Better Penetration

Next came the Salon Solutions Leading Primer, which preps the scalp and strands for deeper absorption. Think of it like a serum booster for your hair; everything that follows penetrates better and works harder.
3. Hair & Scalp Intensive Care

My stylist used the Intensive Gel AD, which targets hair strength and resilience. It felt cool on the scalp, almost like a gentle energising wake-up call, and was massaged in with expert pressure that melted away stress.
4. Powerizing Hair & Scalp

This is where the treatment gets serious. The star of the show is the Adenovital Scalp Power-Shot, a concentrated essence that penetrates deep into the scalp’s layers, targeting the roots, hair strands, and the very foundation of scalp vitality.
Formulated with advanced technology, it works on improving hair strength and density, promoting visibly fuller, healthier-looking hair over time. My stylist applied it using a special technique: dispensing it directly onto 15 targeted points across the scalp, then massaging it in to ensure optimal absorption.
Even during this first use, I could feel a noticeable invigorating effect – almost like my scalp had a pulse again.
5. Boost in Volume

The final step was the Adenovital Volume Serum, which added noticeable lift at the roots without any stiffness or tackiness. My hair had bounce, body, and looked freshly “plumped” from the roots down.
Results: Instant Volume, Long-Term Promise

The most immediate difference? Volume. My hair looked fuller, healthier, and had a beautiful shine. But more than the visible results, what struck me most was how revived my scalp felt. It wasn’t just surface-level care, it was a deep, restorative treatment that promises long-term benefits when done regularly and paired with at-home care.
Whether you’re dealing with the early signs of aging, hair thinning, or just want to future-proof your strands, Shiseido Professional’s Sublimic Adenovital line is worth a serious look. Backed by science, crafted with sensorial care, and delivered with the spirit of Japanese Omotenashi, this is one treatment that truly goes beyond hair.
Why the Adenovital Routine Works

What truly sets the Adenovital range apart is the advanced technology powering each formula. Designed to combat visible signs of aging in both hair and scalp, the treatment delivers three key benefits: root-boosting volume and resilience, enhanced shine by correcting hair’s natural waviness, and deep hydration to restore scalp vitality.
At the heart of this technology is a potent blend of active ingredients, including Adenosine to stimulate healthy hair growth, Sophora Angustifolia Root Extract to soothe the scalp, Panax Ginseng Root Extract for revitalisation, and Nicotinamide, which improves scalp health while strengthening each strand from within. Together, they create the ideal environment for visibly fuller, healthier-looking hair.
Available at selected salons in Singapore, including Hairstuff Salon, located at 241 Lavender St, Singapore 338784.
