Luminara is a similar product to radiesse, however the calcium crystals are suspended in hyaluronic acid creating more swelling after the procedure, as compared to radiesse.

When traveling abroad you can find many filler products that we do not have available in the US. The overseas regulations and testing are not as demanding as in the united states so many of the agents you see there have not gone through FDA approval and thus not available here.Please be careful, Brooklyn in particular has a lot of providers offering medications from abroad and the ability to know where the drug has been or what is in it can be difficult and dangerous.
