What is Laser-Assisted Hatching (LAH)?
Not every embryo, even if it looks healthy in the lab, manages to stick to the uterus. One common reason? The outer layer around the embryo—called the zona pellucida—can be too firm, making it harder for the embryo to break through and attach. That’s where laser-assisted hatching comes in. We use a soft, focused laser to gently create a tiny opening in that shell. It gives the embryo a better shot at coming out and settling into the womb. It’s a simple step, but for many couples who’ve had IVF cycles fail before, it’s been the difference-maker. At SCI IVF, known widely as a top laser-assisted hatching clinic in India, this method is handled with great care by our experienced embryology team inside a fully equipped lab.

What can you expect after Laser-Assisted Hatching Treatment?
During the Process
The process begins by preparation of the body to fertilize. Eggs are taken from ovaries by a simple & careful procedure that is closely monitored while sperm are collected and processed in the laboratory. The most healthy eggs and sperm are combine for fertilization. Over next few days, embryos are developed under close observation. When embryos are ready, one or more healthy embryos are selected to be transfer.
After the Process
The procedure is done before embryo transfer. Once the embryo is placed, Patient can rest for a bit, then head home. No medication is needed for recovery. We wait around two weeks to check for pregnancy. It’s a calm, non-invasive process—but one that could bring huge results.
Success Rate of Laser-Assisted Hatching in India
The laser-assisted hatching success rate in India is dependent on several factors including the fertility of a woman, her age, quality of embryos, etc. In general, the success rate increases when using this technique for IVF patients, women older than 35, and embryos that have a thicker shell.
In SCI IVF we've observed that adding laser-assisted hatching to treatment plans increases implantation odds by 15-20%, compared to using standard IVF alone. With the help of highly-skilled embryologists and advanced lab equipment, we offer some of India’s best outcomes, helping even couples who are facing difficult situations to become parents.
How Much Does Laser-Assisted Hatching Cost in India?
The average price ranges between ₹15,000–₹30,000. At SCI IVF, we keep things simple—transparent pricing, no confusion, and clear communication.
Laser-Assisted Hatching Process Step By Step
- Embryos are created through IVF and kept under lab care.
- On Day 3 after fertilization, we assess embryo health.
- If the embryo is ready and the zona appears thick, LAH is considered.
- A controlled laser beam is used, extremely precise and completely safe.
- The laser softens a small part of the zona pellucida, creating a micro-opening.
- There is no physical contact with the embryo.
- After hatching is done, embryo transfer takes place.
- An embryo has an easier time implanting into the uterine lining.
- The full process is quick and pain-free.
