Laser burns are thermal burns similar to those resulting from the sun being focused onto the skin with a magnifying glass. The frequency (colour) of the light will alter the burn characteristics, but the overall results are essentially the same.

What type of a burn is a laser burn?

radiationA little more...Technically, this answer is true -- LASER burns are "radiation" burns, most frequently in the visual light or infra-red parts of the EM spectrum.
