Laser Cleaning
Steps Involved in IVF:
Procedure Description
Laser cleaning works by focusing a high-energy laser beam onto a surface that needs treatment. The laser interacts with the unwanted material, such as stains, bacteria, or other contaminants, vaporizing or breaking it down into smaller particles that can be easily removed. Depending on the area being treated, the laser settings—such as wavelength, intensity, and duration—can be adjusted for optimal results.
In medical contexts, laser cleaning is primarily utilized in fields such as dentistry and dermatology. Dentists use laser technology to remove plaque and tartar buildup from teeth and to disinfect gum tissue affected by periodontal disease. This method is more precise and comfortable for patients compared to manual scraping and ultrasonic tools. Similarly, in dermatology, lasers are used to treat skin conditions by removing dead skin cells, pigmentation spots, or even scars, allowing for a non-invasive, quick recovery process.
The laser cleaning process is safe, non-invasive, and significantly reduces the risk of infection or damage to surrounding tissues. Additionally, the targeted nature of the laser allows for highly precise results, especially when dealing with delicate structures in the body, such as teeth or facial skin. Patients benefit from less discomfort during the procedure, fewer follow-up visits, and minimal downtime.
Procedure Duration
The duration of a laser cleaning session can vary depending on the complexity of the case and the area being treated. In dental procedures, laser cleaning of teeth usually takes around 30 to 60 minutes. A comprehensive cleaning that includes gum tissue treatment may require multiple sessions, particularly if periodontal disease is being addressed.
For dermatological applications, such as removing pigmentation spots or rejuvenating the skin, a laser cleaning session may take 15 to 45 minutes per treatment area. The number of sessions required depends on the condition being treated. For instance, a simple acne scar treatment might need just one or two sessions, while more extensive skin resurfacing could require up to five sessions.
Recovery times also depend on the area treated and the intensity of the procedure. In most cases, patients can resume their daily activities immediately after laser cleaning. For dental treatments, some patients may experience mild sensitivity or discomfort, but this typically subsides within a few days. Dermatological treatments might cause temporary redness or mild swelling, but the skin typically returns to normal within a week.
Overall, the process is designed to be quick, efficient, and convenient for patients seeking non-invasive solutions with minimal disruption to their daily lives.

Risks & Considerations
- Laser Burns: Although rare, improper use of laser settings can cause burns or skin damage. It's crucial to ensure the practitioner is experienced in laser treatments.
- Temporary Discomfort: Patients may experience mild pain, sensitivity, or discomfort during or after the procedure, especially in dental applications.
- Pigmentation Changes: In dermatological laser treatments, there is a risk of temporary hyperpigmentation or hypopigmentation in the treated area.
- Multiple Sessions: Depending on the condition, several laser cleaning sessions may be required, which can increase the total time and cost of treatment.
- Cost: While laser cleaning is generally more efficient, it may be more expensive than traditional cleaning methods due to the advanced technology used.
How to Choose the Right Doctor and Hospital
Selecting the right doctor and hospital for laser cleaning requires careful consideration. Look for professionals who are certified in laser treatments and have significant experience in the field. Laser technology is highly precise, and a skilled practitioner can ensure that the procedure is safe and effective. Check for qualifications and any additional certifications related to the use of laser equipment.
When choosing a hospital or clinic, it’s important to ensure that the facility is equipped with the latest laser technology. A modern facility with a good reputation in medical tourism can offer better outcomes and a higher standard of care. Always ask about the specific type of laser being used, as different lasers are suited for different treatments.

Frequently Asked Questions
What actually happens during hyperstimulation of the ovaries?
The patient will take injectable FSH (follicle stimulating hormone) for eight to eleven days, depending on how long the follicles take to mature. This hormone is produced naturally in a woman’s body causing one egg to develop per cycle. Taking the injectable FSH causes several follicles to develop at once, at approximately the same rate. The development is monitored with vaginal ultrasounds and following the patient’s levels of estradiol and progesterone. FSH brand names include Repronex, Follistim, Menopur, Gonal-F and Bravelle. The patient injects herself daily.
What happens during egg retrieval?
When the follicles have developed enough to be harvested, the patient attends an appointment where she is anesthetized and prepared for the procedure. Next, the doctor uses an ultrasound probe to guide a needle through the vaginal wall and into the follicle of the ovary. The thin needle draws the follicle fluid, which is then examined by an embryologist to find the eggs. The whole process takes about 20 minutes.
What happens to the eggs?
In the next step, the harvested eggs are then fertilized. If the sperm from the potential father, or in some cases, anonymous donor, has normal functionality, the eggs and sperm are placed together in a dish with a nutrient fluid, then incubated overnight to fertilize normally. If the sperm functionality is suboptimal, an embryologist uses Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection to inject a single sperm into a single egg with an extremely precise glass needle. Once fertilization is complete, the embryos are assessed and prepared to be transferred to the patient’s uterus.
How are the embryos transferred back to the uterus?
The doctor and the patient will discuss the number of embryos to be transferred. The number of successfully fertilized eggs usually determines the number of eggs to be placed in the uterus. Embryos are transferred to the uterus with transabdominal ultrasound guidance. This process does not require anesthesia, but it can cause minor cervical or uterine discomfort. Following transfer, the patient is advised to take at least one days bed rest and two or three additional days of rest, then 10 to 12 days later, two pregnancy tests are scheduled to confirm success. Once two positive tests are completed, an obstetrical ultrasound is ordered to show the sac, fetal pole, yolk sac and fetal heart rate.
Embryoscope©
Built into this technology there is a microscope with a powerful camera that allows the uninterrupted monitoring of the embryo during its first hours of life. In this way, we can keep a close eye on the embryo, from the moment when the oocyte is inseminated and begins to divide into smaller and smaller cells, until it can be transferred to the uterus.
