“he’s so intensely focused😭😹,” one user wrote.

Others thanked the medical spa for bringing visibility to the condition. “Thank you for raising awareness for hyperhidrosis! 💕,” wrote one user. While others remarked they want to get the procedure themselves, one commented: “Wow 🤯 didn’t even even know they have this procedure.”

“It’s nice to have [partnerJenna Johnson] as a safe space, and [I’m] trying to just hone in and hopefully breathe,” Joey previously told PEOPLE. “But we got through it. I felt great about it, and it’s nice to get one done.”

He credits his fiancéeKelsey Anderson, whom heproposed to onThe Bachelor, for helping him face the tiring rehearsal schedule and nerve-wracking performance.

“I’m so lucky to have a supportive fiancée,” the tennis coach gushed. “I texted her immediately after I was done and said, ‘Did I make you proud?’ I just want her to be so happy with how I do this season, but also she’s giving a lot to be here with me, and I know I’m gone a lot, too.”

During Graziadei and Johnson’s first performance, they did the Cha Cha to Tyler Hubbard’s “Dancing in the Country” — and received a seven from each judge with a total score of 21/30.

“I was told anything six or higher, I should be stoked,” he said. “So the fact that I got three sevens to start off, I saw [Jenna’s] reaction — that’s what I go off of, I don’t know what I should expect — but her reaction, she was shocked.”

“I’m nervous to watch it back because I think my eyes were popped out of my head!” she jokingly added.
