Treatment of deep forehead wrinkles

If they are as deep as you describe, botox would not work. It only improves those lines that disappear or get better when spread apart by finger pressure as this simulates the look after muscle paralysis by botox. Given your age you would likely need a coronal brow plasty or lift with partial resection of the frontalis muscle. Your only other option would be injection of fillers into the creases but it is not a better option.

Non-surgical management of forehead lines

To the best of my knowledge there are few if any satisfactory non-surgical options for forehead lines other than cosmetic camouflage. Perhaps the use of biofeedback would allow you to train yourself to not use these muscles but my guess is that a very low yield endeavor.
