Sauna/swimming pool after Silhouette soft lift on eyebrows?

When is it ok to visit sauna or swimming pool after Silhouette soft lift procedure on my eyebrows (absorbable threads were inserted)? The tape was removed on the 3rd day.

Like all post surgical wounds, they can get infected or swell. Infection is not usually a problem after two weeks because the superficial incision line is healed closed.  Swelling can occur up to three months post op. Physical exertion, elevated temperature and body position can increase the swelling of early healing wounds but this goes away with time.
