Laser-Assisted Hatching
Helping embryos implant for better IVF results
At Aakash Fertility Centre, we offer Laser-Assisted Hatching (LAH) as part of our IVF programs. This method creates a tiny opening in the embryo’s protective shell, called the zona pellucida. It helps the embryo attach to the uterus more easily, increasing the chance of pregnancy.
Laser-Assisted Hatching
What Is Laser-Assisted Hatching?
Laser-Assisted Hatching uses a focused laser to make a small opening in the embryo’s shell. This helps the embryo “hatch” and attach to the uterine lining. It is especially useful in certain cases where implantation is difficult.
How It Works
- Embryo Development – Embryos are cultured for 2–3 days after fertilization.
- Embryo Assessment – Embryologists check embryos for quality.
- Laser Application – A precise laser makes a small opening in the zona pellucida.
- Embryo Transfer – The embryo is placed in the uterus for implantation.
Benefits
- Higher Implantation Rates – Supports embryo hatching for better success.
- Precision and Control – Laser allows accurate, controlled intervention.
- Minimally Invasive – Gentle procedure that preserves embryo integrity.
- Versatile Use – Helps patients with thick zona pellucida, advanced age, or previous IVF failures.
Who Can Benefit?
- Women aged 37+
- Patients with high FSH levels
- Couples with recurrent IVF failures
- Embryos with thick or hardened zona pellucida
Clinical Outcomes
- Studies show Laser-Assisted Hatching improves implantation rates, particularly in patients with thick zona pellucida or advanced maternal age.
