Joe-
As I am sure you know, to do any good the ice has to be on the area for a pretty fair amount of time to give you anesthesia... THAT would hurt as much or more than a little stick from the micro needle, IMO.

Use some distraction techniques on her, rub an alchohol swab on a completely different area on her abdomen... let her mind "sense" the tingling from the alchohol as it evaporates and then give your injection while her mind is distracted to the other area. Talk to her, calm her down, get her less tense before the injection... 99% of what she is feeling is due to her anxiety not the shot. Find something that gets her mind off what you are doing...
