Biography

Dr. Angelo P. Thrower

He is a medical doctor, specializing in ethnic skin and hair conditions, opened his private practice more than 30 years ago. Since that time, he has formulated a line of skin type specific skin care products, authored three test books covering skin and hair care for ethnic skin, and has served as one of the team physicians for the NBA’s Miami Heat since 1992.


A graduate of the University of Miami School of Medicine, and George Washington University Medical Center in Washington DC, Dr. Thrower has contributed greatly to the study of dermatology in ethnic skin, writing the book Black Skin Care for the Practicing Professional, and co-authoring Skin Care: How to Save Your Skin and Basic Care for Naturally Textured Hair.


Dr. Thrower's focus on ethnic skin and hair care led him to develop the Dr. Thrower Skin Type Specific line of skin care products, specifically formulated to address certain issues facing varying skin types. His over-the-counter products are sold in his practice, in beauty supply stores, and are available for purchase on this website. He is also the creator of the Thro-Grower Rx Hair Regrowth products, which are scalp-friendly for all hair types. These products have been patented and are pending FDA approval. Dr. Thrower's philosophy is to treat and educate consumers from all ethnic groups about the importance of proper hair care, skin care and treatments based on their specific skin type and scalp conditions.

We believe that perfect skin is healthy skin no matter the tone, that skincare is a journey, and skin education is key. We focus on diverse skin tones because high pigmentation skin has unique needs often underserved by mainstream brands. We are a black-owned brand with a purpose: to support our #glower’s skincare journey into healthy, glowing skin with proven formulations and professional advice.

How it all began

Our brand started with Dr. Angelo Thrower M.D, P.A, in 1992 when he sought to create a line of products his ethnic patients could use with great results.

Early in his childhood, Dr. Thrower became interested in medicine through his mother, a hospital worker, and later during his teenage years, while struggling with acne, became curious about dermatology.

Dr. Thrower got his start as a graduate of the University of Miami School of Medicine and the George Washington University Medical Center. Although dermatology was a common specialty, Dr. Thrower found few professionals understood the needs of high pigmentation skin and even fewer graduate programs taught it.

As a result, Dr. Thrower had to teach himself about dermatology for high pigmentation skin. A pioneer in this distinctive field, and with more than 3 decades of clinical experience, Dr. Thrower is regarded an expert. He has written 3 textbooks and is the official physician for the Miami Heat Team.

Caring for Miami, On and Off the Court

Since 1992, Dr. Thrower has proudly served as the Miami Heat’s team dermatologist, supporting athletes at the highest level of performance.


That same decades-long expertise and dedication to skin health is at the heart of Dr. Thrower’s Skincare, grounded in medicine, experience, and community trust.

Product Evolution

Skincare for diverse tones was non-existent in the 90s. Observing this need, Dr. Thrower created the first skincare system that addresses the primary concerns of diverse skin tones: acne & discoloration, dryness & irritation. Since then, Dr. Thrower’s Skincare regimens have been tested, refined & vetted by thousands of Dr. Thrower’s patients at Dr. Thrower’s Medspa in Hollywood Florida. Our evolution throughout the years:

Dr. Thrower’s Heritage Collection
Dr. Thrower’s Heritage Black

Our mission is to help 1 million faces return to glowing, healthy skin through the use of skin type-specific, ingredient-compatible proven formulas.

    I came to Dr. Throwers practice due to some dark spots and some breakouts on my face. In a matter of month's I have seen drastic results all for the better. I am so very satisfied with my outcome and recommend to anyone. The staff was also very helpful in showing me how to use all the products correctly. Thank you Dr. Thrower and staff for taking good care of me!

    This is totally unacceptable…. I place an order the 24th of may 2024 for an item that said they was four in stock …. Today is June 11 2024 and I still did not receive my order…. No one contact me about my order… I had to call to see what was going on with the order that’s when they told me they out of stock I requested my money back they told me they not going to give me my shipping back… lol … so I wanted to know what’s the reason why I’m not getting my shipping when I place the order you allow the order to go through and did not even have the customer service to send an email or a text to say sorry we out of the item what can we do for you do want to wait because it will not be here until the next week or whenever but telling me if I cancel the order I will not get shipping back…. I call the office so many times I get the office manager is not in so now they say they got the item after 17 days and so they say they will ship out today, so I ask what time line should I receive it next 5 days … so I said to the rude employee so I have to wait 5 more day after 17 days she said do you to come and get it knowingly I’m in Georgia I said no what you company should do is express it because after waiting 17 days … you have to treat your customers with kindness respect and dignity because if your customers don’t buy then you out of business and you out of a job!! Please do better!! Rosalyn
