The Laser Assisted Hatching Process

Our step-by-step approach ensures the highest precision and care throughout your treatment journey.

Step 1

Embryo Assessment

Our embryologists carefully evaluate each embryo to determine candidacy for assisted hatching.

Step 2

Precision Positioning

The embryo is securely positioned under the microscope for the highly precise laser procedure.

Step 3

Laser Application

A specialized laser creates a small, precise opening in the zona pellucida (outer shell).

Step 4

Culture Period

The embryo is returned to culture until it's ready for transfer to the uterus.

Step 5

Embryo Transfer

The treated embryo is carefully transferred to the uterus with improved potential for implantation.

Step 6

Pregnancy Test

A pregnancy test is conducted approximately two weeks after the embryo transfer.

Benefits of Laser Assisted Hatching

This advanced technique offers several advantages that can significantly improve your chances of a successful pregnancy.

Increased Success Rates

Improves implantation rates, especially for specific patient groups, including those with previous IVF failures.

Quick Procedure

The laser technique takes only seconds to perform and does not harm the embryo.

Non-invasive

Uses light energy instead of chemicals or mechanical methods, ensuring embryo safety.

Improved Implantation

Helps the embryo escape its protective shell more easily, facilitating the implantation process.

Clinically Proven

Backed by extensive research showing benefit for specific patient populations.

Embryo Selection

Allows better evaluation of embryo quality and viability before transfer.
