Laser Assisted Hatching (LAH)

Laser Assisted Hatching (LAH) is a specialized technique offered at Akshaya IVF to enhance the chances of successful embryo implantation during the process of in vitro fertilization (IVF). This precise procedure involves the use of a laser to create a small opening in the outer layer of the embryo, facilitating its ability to implant into the uterus.

Key Aspects of Laser Assisted Hatching (LAH):

1. Enhancing Embryo Implantation: LAH is performed to create a thin opening in the zona pellucida, the protective outer layer of the embryo. This facilitates the embryo’s natural hatching process and increases the likelihood of successful implantation.

2. Precision with Laser Technology: The use of laser technology allows for precise and controlled application during the LAH procedure. This ensures minimal impact on the embryo while enhancing its chances of successful interaction with the uterine lining.

3. Strategic Timing: LAH is typically performed just before the embryo transfer stage of the IVF process. The timing is crucial to optimize the embryo’s readiness for implantation during the woman’s menstrual cycle.

4. Individualized Treatment Plans: LAH is integrated into individualized IVF treatment plans based on the unique needs and circumstances of the patient. The decision to use LAH is made in consultation with our experienced fertility specialists.

Benefits of Laser Assisted Hatching (LAH):

• Improved Implantation Rates: LAH aims to enhance the embryo’s ability to hatch and implant into the uterine lining, improving overall implantation rates.

• Increased Success in Certain Cases: LAH may be recommended in specific cases where the zona pellucida appears thick or when previous IVF attempts have not been successful.

• Tailored to Individual Needs: The use of LAH is based on an individualized assessment, ensuring that it is recommended when it can provide the most benefit.
