If the noise is white Gaussian, it occurs equally at all frequencies.
Visually, though, the lower frequencies might be less noticeable/bothersome
than the high frequencies, so denoising only the high frequencies might be
all that you need. If you have implemented the first stage of the wavelet
decomposition, however, the effort to make it recursive is very small, so
you might as well do it and compare the results.
