Unparalleled Care
Our Helmets
Plagiocephaly and brachycephaly can both be treated with a helmet. Our consultant surgeons have treated thousands of infants with head deformities over the past twenty years, and were pioneers in helmet therapy (CRANIO helmet) in the United Kingdom.

Experience exceptional craniofacial and maxillofacial care with Ahead4babies. Our world-renowned surgeons combine cutting-edge expertise and compassionate care to treat craniofacial deformities. Learn more about our specialists:
Advanced Treatment Technology
We use a Canfield Vectra 3D Imaging System to capture a 3D image of your baby’s head. Fifteen digital cameras take images at the same time, giving 100% accuracy. (Since digital cameras take these images, there is no need for a laser, and there is no radiation.) The images can then be used to custom make helmets, as well as to compare head shapes before and after treatment.

Who we are
Ahead4Babies is the only UK-based clinic dedicated solely to baby head shaping helmets (cranial orthotic helmets).
We are also the only UK clinic where your baby’s head shape will be assessed by craniofacial surgeons who will rule out rare conditions such as craniosynostosis and hydrocephalus, before diagnosing and offering helmet therapy for confirmed cases of flat head syndrome (plagiocephaly or brachycephaly).
Based in Central London, Ahead4Babies is part of the Cranioform network, which includes thirty clinics – mostly in university hospitals – across Germany (Frankfurt and Berlin), Switzerland (Alpnach), Sweden, Poland, and Austria.
Our consultant surgeons have treated thousands of infants with flat head syndrome over three decades, and were pioneers in baby helmet therapy in the United Kingdom and Europe.

About our baby head shaping helmets
Cranioform helmets are the only infant therapy helmets available in the UK which were designed by a craniofacial surgeon. The patented proprietary design includes a soft comfortable cosmetic grade sweat wicking foam on the inside of the helmet and a strong medical grade plastic external shell.
Our therapy helmets are specifically designed and 3D printed according to your baby’s head shape. In order to ensure absolute accuracy, we use the Canfield Vectra 3D Imaging System to capture a 3D image of your baby’s head – this is the leading imaging system used by renowned cosmetic surgeons. Fifteen digital cameras take images at the same time, giving complete accuracy. The scan is safe, quick, and comfortable for your baby – no lasers or radiation involved.
The 3D images of your baby’s head are used to custom make each therapy helmet, as well as to compare baby head shapes before and after treatment.
What Our Clients Say
"We just wanted to say again a huge thank you for everything you have done for Charlie. When we came to you, we felt we were fighting against the current just to get anyone to acknowledge what we instinctively felt – that Charlie’s head shape would not improve on its own, and that he needed help"
