Is numbing cream supposed to be wiped off for microneedling?

I did microneedling 2x now, so far very little results. This last time she used 64 needles and went deeper. My question is: is the numbing cream supposed to be wiped off before the procedure? It was left one for about 30-45 min. It hurt SO bad last time it was like child birth. I didnt think it was numb at all. I had to keep putting ice on my face during the procedure because of the pain. Everyone says it doesnt hurt so I am wondering if she isnt supposed to be wiping the cream off.
