New Methods in IVF Treatment at emBIO Medical Centre

At emBIO Medical Centre, they are proud to stand at the forefront of reproductive innovation, continuously adopting the latest scientific breakthroughs to maximise success rates and patient safety. Their specialised IVF treatments and advanced technologies include:

In Vitro Maturation (IVM)

This method eliminates the need for strong hormone stimulation. Instead, immature eggs are retrieved and matured in the laboratory within 24–48 hours. It’s a safe and effective option for women with polycystic ovaries or those wishing to avoid the side effects of hormonal medication.

Vitrification

A state-of-the-art rapid-freezing technique used for eggs and embryos. Vitrification prevents ice crystal formation and dramatically improves post-thaw survival rates, preserving cell integrity and ensuring high-quality outcomes for future transfers.

Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection (ICSI)

ICSI involves the direct injection of a single sperm into the egg, offering a highly effective solution for cases of male infertility or previous fertilisation failures. This precision technique ensures the best possible fertilisation rates, even when sperm quality or quantity is low.

AI-Assisted Embryo Selection

Using artificial intelligence (AI) and time-lapse imaging, emBIO’s embryologists can now analyse embryo development with exceptional accuracy. AI-powered systems evaluate subtle cellular patterns invisible to the human eye, helping select the healthiest and most viable embryos for transfer — increasing implantation and pregnancy rates.

Preimplantation Genetic Testing (PGT/PGD)

PGT allows for the detection of chromosomal or genetic abnormalities in embryos before implantation. It helps identify embryos free from hereditary diseases such as sickle-cell anaemia or thalassaemia, ensuring a healthier pregnancy and child.

Assisted Hatching

For women over 40 or those with repeated implantation failures, assisted hatching can improve outcomes. The procedure involves thinning or opening the embryo’s outer shell (zona pellucida) to help it implant more easily in the uterus.

Blastocyst Culture and Transfer

By allowing embryos to develop for five to six days before transfer, EmBIO’s embryologists can identify those most likely to result in pregnancy. This approach improves implantation rates and reduces the need for multiple embryo transfers.

EmbryoScope™ Time-Lapse Incubation

emBIO uses the EmbryoScope™ system, which allows continuous, non-invasive monitoring of embryos without removing them from the incubator. This technology helps embryologists select the best-quality embryos based on precise developmental patterns.

At some point I thought just maybe it wasn’t meant for us to become parents, but I am eternally grateful to Dr Paraschos and to each member of the clinic we collaborated with for helping us achieve our miracle.

– Sarah and David

When I came in to EmBIO for my first consultation and scan with Dr Paraschos, I instinctively thought he knew what he was talking about. He had made his research concerning my ordeal with cancer and all its details before seeing me and created a protocol to use less drugs and work with an emphasis on my natural cycle so as not to trigger the cancer. Although I was told that my chances were low, I felt that he and his people would do everything possible for me.

I believe that no other clinic would have paid such attention to my case. My doctor and staff at Embio made me feel secure and hopeful and reassured me that I was in the best of hands and so it turned out.  I am a healthy mother with my beautiful miracle daughter in my arms!

– Ms X, UK

The feeling of holding your own child in your arms is indescribable. There are no words to describe the absolute happiness that I was feeling then. I would like to advise all couples who have not yet managed to realize their own dream of having a child not to lose hope. I recommend, without any reservations, from a personal and scientific point of view, that they contact Dr. Paraschos’ in vitro fertilization centre in Athens.

– Klaudia Giese, Germany

I am now 8 weeks pregnant. I cannot begin to express how grateful I am that people like you are in existence. Apart from our treatments, it was you Dr Paraschos and your wonderful caring co-workers that made me believe I had the ability to become pregnant. Having someone tell me to relax and allow my body to do what it needed was exactly what I needed and I truly believe that made all the difference.

– Tonia, IUI patient

We opted to try IVF. Thankfully, we were successful after the first round. We are now the lucky parents of two healthy and happy 19 month old twin girls! The credit goes to our wonderful doctor and his team not only for their professional medical guidance, but also their empathy and compassion to couples who are experiencing infertility after all it is such a delicate issue that many people do not understand unless they experience it themselves. The nursing staff dealt with our concerns with the utmost kindness – professionalism and support that we will never forget receiving from you!

– Sarah and Martin, UK

Our specialist suggested we try up to two IUI cycles before thinking of more progressive treatments. And so we opted for IUI and following the second cycle, I was pregnant!! We now are two very happy people with an amazing healthy baby boy in our lives. Thank you to everyone at EmBIO for your help!

– Maria and Jason, UK

I was diagnosed with an endometrial cyst (chocolate cyst) in my left ovary yet none of my previous doctors had suggested a laparoscopy. Therefore, I had undergone two unsuccessful IVFs in my efforts to have a baby.

The operation performed by Dr Paraschos and his team was a life changer for me. The surgery went smoothly and all the pains I suffered before, disappeared. I felt so much better and my psychology was improved to such a degree that I once again had hopes of having a baby. As we speak, I’m 6 months pregnant with my first child without even having to go through another IVF. I thank Dr Paraschos and his team from the bottom of my heart for their immaculate professionalism, consistency and responsibility.

– Katerina M

The response was immediate. Communications with the IVF coordinator were excellent given the time difference, and, in any case, within 24 hours. One of the reasons we came to EMBIO, Athens was tandem IVF. It is the first time we are doing donor in addition to our own egg.

– Poli, 42, Canada

From our doctor to the very last employee we met and dealt with at EmBIO, they all treated us like potential parents and helped me actually believe again and bring back the hope that I had put aside for some time out of my despair. Thanks to Dr Paraschos and wonderful team, we are now proud parents to a very special boy!

– Mr X, Moscow

I had IVF with my own eggs at Embio. This is my first try. I Googled IVF clinics in Europe, saw the profiles of all the clinics and then I chose Embio because of Dr Thanos Paraschos profile and also the IVF cost at Embio.

Dr Paraschos is brilliant! I cannot explain how good he is! Sotiria, the IVF coordinator is the best! Τhey were so nice with me. All the stuff just brilliant! They really take care of you. They respond right away. Dr Paraschos replies to you quickly for anything you want to know.

– Tendai, 45, UK

Dr Paraschos, the IVF coordinator Elena, every nurse and every staff member were very knowledgeable, kind, and caring. They were obviously very medically oriented, as opposed to just being a “puppy mill”. In the midst of my being a patient there, not once did I feel like a number. On the contrary, they looked after our best interests and were very willing to work around our schedule since we travelled from Canada just to be treated by Dr Paraschos who had treated my Greek Canadian friend with success.

– IVF patient, Canada

Thank you THANK YOU a million times over for helping me become a mom to an almost 1-year-old baby girl! You are the reason for such joy in our lives and I would especially like to thank Dr Paraschos who, more than anything else, is a professional!

– IVF patient

I’m back here at EMBIO once more to give a little brother or sister to my baby. Dr. Paraschos is ever so gentle and understanding.

– Lucia, Italy

Attached to our letter is a picture of Pricilla who was born on the 16th of October last year weighing two kilos and eight hundred grams in Lyon. She is our pride and joy! We are all doing great here, in fact we plan to visit you again this time next year to try for a little brother for our princess! Thank you so very much Embio for everything.

– Gaston, France

Let me just say that having been through a number of IVFs with my dear wife at two other IVF clinics, we were able to immediately feel the difference that emBIO’s clinic staff makes. Their professionalism, sensitivity, understanding and above all enthusiasm for what they are working on was indeed unparalleled. Many many thanx to all of you!

– Gerard

Embio is a beautiful clinic, very supportive. Dr Paraschos was very kind and gentle and put us at ease. Elena, our coordinator, has been fantastic from day one, and also very supportive. The whole process was smooth and very quick. We highly recommend anyone that has had trouble conceiving to give Embio clinic a call.

– Jenny, Australia

I had visited a number of IVF centres over the net and I was very impressed with your success rates. This is the reason we initially chose EmBIO. It was a great success that led to our precious twin girls. Thank you for answering all of our questions with patience and kindness.

– Alan, London

Me and my wife want to thank you all so much for our lovely son Iasonas. We also would like to thank the egg donor who helped us in her own very special way to live our dream as a family.

– Petros, Athens

emBIO allowed me to start the treatment and undergo tests in my home country (supported by my own insurance) and provide them with the results.

They answered all my questions in a professional way and in short period of time, even on a Saturday night.
