Kristin Davis’ view on beauty is a lot like many of ours. “I’m scared of needles, scared of complications, and scared of doing something that looks bad and not being able to go back and fix it,” she told us, adding that she’s always looking for anything noninvasive to try. Her latest venture: CoolSculpting, the fat-freezing wonder that kills fat cells with the taut of zero downtime, but it wasn’t totally what she was expecting, and in the best way possible.

“During my career I’ve gained weight, I’ve lost weight, I’ve gone to the gym six days a week, I’ve gone to the gym not at all. Right now I’m in a ‘not at all’ phase because I have two kids, but throughout it all, there’s a job you have to show up to, and a lot of times, you have to wear jeans. The last job I did I had, to wear jeans and pants and everything and I remember being a little worried because if you’re curvy on camera, sometimes it can look too curvy. So when I heard about CoolSculpting, I was intrigued, but I had the misconception that in order to be a good candidate, you needed to have a lot of fat you were trying to reduce.
