Laser Assisted Hatching
Advanced Embryology Technique to Improve Implantation Success
Laser Assisted Hatching (LAH) is an advanced IVF laboratory procedure designed to help embryos implant more effectively in the uterus. At Amrit Hospital, our fertility specialists use cutting-edge laser technology to gently thin or create a small opening in the embryo’s outer shell (zona pellucida), supporting better embryo development and improving pregnancy outcomes—especially for patients who need an extra boost in their IVF cycle.
Who May Benefit From Laser Assisted Hatching?
Your fertility specialist may recommend LAH if:
You are 35 years or older
You have experienced repeated IVF failures
Your embryos show a thick zona pellucida
You have poor-quality or slow-developing embryos
You are using frozen-thawed embryos, which may naturally have a hardened shell
You have elevated FSH levels or reduced ovarian reserve
You have infertility due to unexplained causes
How the Procedure Works
Laser Assisted Hatching is performed in our embryology lab by skilled embryologists:
The embryo is carefully held in place under a microscope.
A precise laser beam creates a tiny opening or thins the zona pellucida.
The embryo continues to develop and is then transferred into the uterus.
The procedure is quick, safe, and does not harm the embryo, thanks to advanced laser technology.
