Laser hair removal cannot cause decreased sensitivity to the nipple area. I suggest you speak to your physician if you are concerned.  Best, Dr. Emer.

It does not appear to be a burn but PFE (perifollicular edema) which is common after hair removal. The small bumps is just a reaction of the hair follicles and should resolve on its own in a few days. You can apply aloe vera to help soothe and moisturize the area.
