What is Laser Assisted Hatching?
Laser Assisted Hatching (LAH) at Vardaan uses precise, non-contact micro-laser technology to create a delicate opening in the embryo’s outer shell (zona pellucida), helping it hatch and attach successfully to the uterine lining—a critical step performed by our Fertility Specialist Doctors in Punjab to overcome hardened embryo shells in older women, optimize frozen embryo transfers, and resolve past unexplained cycle failures at the best IVF center in Punjab with complete transparency under our "One Treatment, One Cost" commitment backed by 26+ years of experience in Punjab.

How Does Laser Assisted Hatching (LAH) Work?
- Selection & Timing: LAH is performed on Day 3 (cleavage stage) or Day 5 (blastocyst stage) embryos right before transfer or freezing, guided by our Fertility Specialist Doctors in Punjab.
- Lab Preparation: The selected embryo is carefully placed in a specialized micromanipulation dish under a high-magnification microscope at our state-of-the-art Punjab embryology labs.
- Laser Application: A non-contact, precision infrared laser beam creates a tiny opening in the outer shell (zona pellucida) without ever touching the internal embryo cells.
- Seamless Transfer: Completed in mere seconds, the embryo is returned to the incubator or transferred immediately to the uterus, backed by our 26+ years of experience.

Frequently Asked Questions
Yes. LAH uses a precise, non-contact micro-laser with no heat damage to the embryo. It's a well-established procedure performed under strict lab controls at Vardaan.
Yes, but it's most commonly recommended for frozen embryo transfers (FET), where vitrification can harden the shell. Our embryologists assess each case individually.
Not at all. LAH is performed entirely in the lab on the embryo—the patient feels nothing. The embryo transfer itself is a simple, painless procedure at Vardaan.
Yes—especially for women over 37, frozen embryo transfers, and patients with repeated implantation failures. At Vardaan, LAH is recommended only when clinically indicated for maximum benefit.
