Simon, the multiscale processes in PixInsight like MLT are all capable of noise reduction and do it very well. The advantage is that they can be applied with different settings at each wavelet layer, so you can do stronger noise reduction at small scales which is where the noise is usually strongest. I find they work a lot better than ACDNR at reducing noise without smearing detail. Here's a tutorial: http://pixinsight.com/examples/M81M8...oise_Reduction

Cheers,
