The US military has in the past used some large vehicle mounted beam weapons that make your skin burn like all hell, such as the Active Denial System, and I wonder if those could be deflected as well or if they’re the part of the spectrum that needs more sophisticated shielding?

Those aren’t lasers, they’re millimeter-wave radio beams.
Yes, they can be deflected pretty easily, but you’ll need metal shield that’s big enough to entirely hide behind.
