Laser Assisted Hatching (LAH): Boosting IVF Success with Advanced Technology

Available at God’s Grace IVF & Fertility Centre

For many couples undergoing IVF, embryo implantation is a crucial yet challenging stage. Even when high-quality embryos are available, some fail to implant due to natural barriers. Fortunately, advancements like Laser Assisted Hatching (LAH) have significantly increased the chances of a successful pregnancy.

At God’s Grace IVF & Fertility Centre, Dr. Roshi Satija offers this modern procedure to help couples overcome implantation difficulties—especially those related to age or prior IVF failures.

Understanding Laser Assisted Hatching

During a natural conception process, an embryo must “hatch” from its outer shell, the zona pellucida, before it can attach to the uterus. However, in some cases, this shell is too thick or hardened, making it difficult for the embryo to break free. As a result, implantation may not occur.

Laser Assisted Hatching addresses this issue by using a focused laser beam to create a tiny opening in the embryo’s shell. This helps the embryo hatch more easily and increases the likelihood of implantation. Moreover, the procedure is quick, safe, and performed under strict lab conditions, minimizing any risk to the embryo.

Who Can Benefit from LAH?

While LAH is not necessary for every IVF case, it is particularly helpful for:

  • Women over 35, whose embryos may have a tougher outer layer
  • Couples who have experienced multiple IVF failures
  • Frozen-thawed embryos, which often develop a hardened zona
  • Embryos that show slow growth or poor quality
  • Cases of unexplained infertility, where standard methods haven’t worked

In these situations, LAH can provide a much-needed boost to improve outcomes.

How the Procedure Works

The LAH process is simple yet precise:

  1. Embryo Selection – First, our specialists select the most viable embryos for the procedure.
  2. Laser Application – Next, a laser gently creates a small hole in the zona pellucida.
  3. Embryo Transfer – Finally, the treated embryos are transferred into the uterus for potential implantation.

Thanks to advanced technology and skilled embryologists, the procedure is completed swiftly without compromising embryo safety.
