Is it normal to apply numbing cream at home before going in-office for a microneedling procedure?

Asked By:LilacSky22 in Santa Rosa, CA

I recently had a consultation and scheduled my first microneedling procedure. The esthetician gave me a small container of numbing cream to apply to my face before I come in for the procedure, but I assumed they would apply this cream in office during my appointment. Is this normal?
