how do i get the big facebook image?

I have been using this approach to get the facebook big profile image

http://graph.facebook.com/<FBUID>/picture?type=large

but it redirects to another url. Is there a way to get the final url, because in an image tag it take a bit to load them all

<img width="46" height="46" src="http://graph.facebook.com/7715177/picture?type=large">

I am using php facebook

here is some of my php 

//Facebook
$facebook = new Facebook(array(
  'appId'  => $config->get('fb_api_id'),
  'secret' => $config->get('fb_api_secret'),
));

$user = $facebook->getUser();
    if ($user) {
      try {
        $user_profile = $facebook->api('/me');
        $token = $facebook->getAccessToken();

      } catch (FacebookApiException $e) {
        error_log($e);
        $user = null;

        }
    }

any ideas on how to get the final url after the redirect

Have you tried using CURL with the CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION set to true on

http://graph.facebook.com/<FBUID>/picture?type=large

?
